Why do horses have so many flies attracted to them?

I think its the smell of them and because of where they are located. They wouldnt be covered in flies if they were in the city or something like our dogs.
But most horses are kept where there is long grass and woods where most flies,moquitos,horse flies ect are.
Usually when I go to get the horses out of the pasture the flies attack me too there sooo annoying!!!

nice pictures do you ride?

Aww I love that last pic but there all good.

I always thought fly's liked going onto animals eye balls or somthing because In nature movies it seems thats where they always go or In there poop but I dout your horse rolls In its poop altho some animals so that.

Give your horse a mud bath that shall keep thoe bugs away but then you have to clean the horses alot lol.

I love your horses and you take really good pictures!

I've never knew why flies were so attracted to horses. I think it's because of their smell or something.
